Democrats out themselves as corrupt by crying at USAID cuts

Biden, after four years of ‘Weekend at Bernie’s,’ scores new creative gig

Joe Biden, the president who holds the record for most public appearances as the main character in the "Weekend at Bernie's" film -- you know, as the dead guy -- has scored a creative gig with Creative Artists Agency.

President Trump had a very good first week

DEI finally frying in the fires of American Exceptionalism

President Trump signed an executive order that shut down diversity, equity and inclusion offices at the federal level. Then he made clear his government would be one that hired, promoted and employed based on competence. In other words: He put Marxism back in its box. Published January 23, 2025

A missile is on display with a sign on it reading in Farsi: "Death to Israel" in front of a mosque in the shape of Dome of the Rock of Jerusalem at an entrance of the Quds town west of the capital Tehran, Iran, Sunday, April 21, 2024.

President Biden warned that the power of America's government was being concentrated within a small circle of select elites -- that an "oligarchy" was "taking shape" -- and that if the "ultraweathy" weren't held in check, individual freedoms would disappear.

The Food and Drug Administration just announced it would ban the use of Red No. 3, a dye used in thousands of food and medicinal products to provide color but that has been linked to cancer in animals.
